Right on, thanks for the clarification. Regardless, I still believe that Woody had a much better outing than this line score would lead others to deduce. Woody seemed to agree in the post-game quotes.
-
Washington State beats Washington 74-64. Tomorrow: 4 Oregon vs. 8 Cal 2 Washington State vs. 3 USC

Unless those are some really good prospects, the Braves aren't letting Salty go. They are extremely high on him. I know he's good, but what happens when he's ready for the majors with McCann already at catcher? If we were able to grab him it would make our draft decision a lot easier (Price over Wieters, assuming Price isn't grabbed ahead of us). I would still take Wieters if he was the BPA. Why draft a lesser player to fill a need, especially when the drafted player will take a few years to get to the big leagues to fill the need?

Josh Hamilton is off to a hot start this spring.
CaliforniaRaisin replied to Mephistopheles's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It would be better if he was doing that for the cubs... Did we take him in the major league or minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft? If we took him in the minor league phase where we could place him in the minors I guess it'd be nice to have him. But he's still about the turn 26, has never played above the AA level. Right now the backup OF is kinda filled with Floyd, Pagan, and Ward. It's a nice story, but I just don't see any room for him. Major league. -
Pac-10 refs are stupid too. They charged Washington their 7th foul of the half, then let WSU inbound the ball and spent another 5 seconds before they realized WSU should be shooting a 1-and-1.
-
Washington is getting absolutely jobbed by the refs. Pac-10 refs are brutal.

I like the Brewers this year
CaliforniaRaisin replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in General Baseball Talk
Yeah and they have Inman, Jeffress, and Rogers coming. Not a bad team. Not sure about Rogers coming anywhere. -
Washington up on Washington State 36-32 at the half.
-
Stanford blows a 12-pt lead as USC wins 83-79 in overtime. The final game is coming up real soon - 2 Washington State vs. 7 Washington.
-
Nick Young of USC hits a huge jumper to tie the game with 10 seconds. Stanford gets a shot blocked and we head to overtime...
-
Dempster Wood Howry Eyre Ohman Cotts Is Lou really going to go with a 12th pitcher like Cherry?
-
Not even UNC? ---- Stanford up 42-31 on USC at the half. Misery loves company, USC better lose today - Arizona already lost!
-
Isn't a hit batsmen an unearned run, just like a walk? I assumed the same applies to someone who is K'd and gets to 1st base on a wild pitch/passed ball. None of those would lead to unearned runs. Only errors would.
-
Yes.
-
Well, good to hear. I'd much prefer being a 2-seed in Sarcamento than a 1-seed out East. We're limping in ourselves...
-
They should still get a #1 in the West. If the committee punishes them for this loss then that tells me these three days mean more than the past four months. The key I think is what happens with the other 1's and 2's. if 1 or 2 of the 2's win the conference tournaments and all of them advance to at least the semis or finals, then I could definitely see UCLA getting pushed to a 2-it's not like they had a much, much better resume than the other teams before this. It was better, but it's able to be made up. I could be wrong, but I think UCLA, Kansas and Ohio State have the number 1's wrapped up no matter what happens this weekend. I could be wrong but it was my thought going into the weekend. What happens if UNC and Florida win their tourneys? Or TAMU?
-
Don't bother, guys. We are in an offensive slump royale and are an awful FT shooting team. The team looks listless out there and the defense continues to be horrible in the first half of games. About the only thing going right now is that Shipp and Mbah a Moute have righted their slumps (in time for Afflalo and Collison to start slumping). And (even though the Washington game meant nothing) the team has lost two in a row, they are limping into the tourney right now, I expect us to get a 2-seed now. I'd rather have the 2-seed and stay out west, hopefully that will happen. And dalgreen, I expect the winner of the Washington-Washington State game to win the conference tournament.
-
Sigh. :( Let's say bye to tourney games in Cali. Probably lost the 1-seed too. Going in to the tourney on a 2-game losing streak.
-
We deserve a 2-seed.
-
Afflalo finally gets a shot to go in.
-
Meh, UCLA and Cal going to OT tied at 61. UCLA is 13/24 at the FT line. Ubaka was huge for Cal down the stretch, tying the game twice. Afflalo still has no FGs.
-
Ugh, Aboya fouls out and Afflalo has 4 fouls. Tie game with 4:28 to go.
-
Great adjustments by Howland, they're just attacking the basket and playing much better defense. Of course, it helps when Collison and Afflalo score (0 points from the top 2 scores in the first half = not good). ETA: And UCLA takes their first lead since 8-6. :D
